Which level Diploma should I study?

Hi Helen

Unlike you, I didn't have my degree at the time I started my HR career, so I have spent the last 4/5 years completing my level 3 CIPD certificate to get some knowledge of the HR fundamentals, I then studied with the OU and completed a Business Management degree part time and i've just started the level 7 diploma in HRM.

I found that this helped me progress from administration to Advisor and I am now looking at either a HR Manager or BP role with the experience and skills I have and the qualifications back it all up nicely. Good luck in whatever you decide.

Hi Laura

Thank you for your advice.

I thought about doing the Level 3 as well and move my way up but then realised that I don't have the finances to study both.

As I am still working, I don't want to leave my commitments - so I've opted for the Online Distance Learning route which will be flexible for my situation.

Kind Regards

Helen

Hi Helen
I too study online however, mine is through ICS Learn as I like the flexibility and I can pay in instalments (Also helped that there was a 20% off offer on at the time) :)

Hi Laura

How are you finding the support with ICS Learn, is there a community forum of other fellow CIPD learners?

Kind Regards

Helen

I would always go for a real provider at the local University. Apart from anything else you make friends and learn from each other.
